Hungover and starving, we decided to hit up this popular watering hole for some comfort pub food. We walked in to find the place to be pretty empty, with just another couple sitting at the bar.
It didn't feel or look anything like an Irish pub. There was even hip hip music playing in the background.
Since we didn't learn our lesson from the night before, we both decided that the best way to cure our hangovers was to drink more. LOL!

MIMOSA ($6.25, $4 until 1pm every Sat & Sun): Didn't taste much alcohol in this at all. Fail.

Rather disappointing since this was suppose to be rated as being one of the best Bloody Mary in town (and at their other California locations). It's listed on the menu as "HENNESSEY'S FAMOUS BLOODY MARY".
Yeah. I didn't taste any vodka in this one either. The tomato juice seemed old and flat. I had to request (and pay an additional $8.25) for another shot of Ketal Vodka to be mixed into my drink.
GRILLED CHEESE SANDWICH & TOMATO BISQUE ($10):

I got a bite of Bud's sammie and thought it was pretty tasty. There was a good amt of Irish cheddar, swiss & jack cheese in the sandwich. The bowl of tomato bisque was just okay. I was missing the familiar tang that is expected in a good bowl of tomato soup, also a touch of salt would've helped.
CARNE ASADA BENEDICT ($9.95):

The grilled steak was nicely seasoned and cooked to the right med rare doneness.
The bad part about this dish was that it was overall dry due to the eggs being overcooked, it sucks not having enough egg yolk or salsa to help soften up the dish.
The home fries were nice and crispy though.
Overall, it was just okay for us. The menu looked great but failed on execution and flavors for the most part. Maybe we weren't the only ones hungover that day.
